Nasser El Sonbaty much? Samir Bannout? Mohamed Makkawy? Mohammed Benaziza? It's not like yesteryear was lacking in bodybuilders from the Arab world.
Fouad Abiad was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and is of Lebanese heritage.
Mamdouh 'Big Ramy' Elssbiay is an Egyptian-born Kuwaiti.
Who else? I'm sure it's not a short list.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!

A lot of this is true. I reminded of a photo or two in the Pumping Iron book (which is from when - 1975?).
What might be true is, for now while there's still oil, they have the money that, if they wanted to, they could dominate bodybuilding in terms of shows and prize money. All it'd take is one prince / sheikh to show an interest with their pocket money and boom. It nearly happened with the NABBA Mr U back in the day with John Paul Getty.06, 08, 09 and now 2010 British (4x) and 2008/2010 European Grip Champion (2x)

Are you kidding here? Most of the forerunners of who were seriously pushing physical culture, nutrition, and bodybuilding as we know it at the turn of the century, aside from Jewish Joe Weider, were white: Bernard McFadden, George Eiferman, George Hackenschmidt, Charles Atlas, Jack Lalanne, and so on.
There have been quite a few great Middle Eastern and Arab bodybuilders though, with one being Mr. Olympia, Samir Bannout.Last edited by BrickHead; 03-01-2016 at 01:22 PM.
